IZENGATE Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Wallet Case - Executive Premium PU Leather Flip Cover Folio with Stand (Turquoise Blue)

No, Really, I mean It! It's a GREAT case. I have had probably four of these same cases (different colors -magentas,red, 2 (3?) blues). Twice I have foolishly bought other brands to get something with a pretty pattern, but always come back after since those fall apart so quickly.I am hard on these wallets. I want to stuff everything I need into it and go, since I won't carry a purse. The Izengate has four tight card pockets (the front one is a clear window for IDs - nice) and two long money/paper pockets. (Mind you the length of the bill is a little bigger than the wallet, but I just fold what little cash I have and stuff it in.) After a few weeks of use the Izengard pockets become less tight/sticky and I can slot an extra card in with the first ones. I think I usually start with three or four cards in total, but by the second month I have probably 6 cards in there all together. (ID, credit card, debit card, costco card, library card and whatever else I may need. ) They all fit snugly and I don't have to worry about anything slipping out. Not so with my last Non-Izengate wallet. Within a few months the top two slots would hardly hold anything safely - WAY too loose for my liking! That same "other" wallet was a pretty floral, but fell apart and lost it's strap in just a few months.Unfortunately I dropped the phone while in the "other " wallet and cracked my screen. Never has that happened with my many drops in an Izengard. The part that actually holds my phone is SNUG and raised just enough to protect it from a drop.The snap is secure, but opens easily when I have to answer a call. I just fold the wallet back and the extra thickness allows me to cradle it between my ear and shoulder. (This is an important feature if you grew up with a land line- LOL!)I really hate the thought of getting a new phone - The Note 4 has plenty of features, thank you!But the worst part is what if Izengard doesn't make a wallet for it??!!

Really nicely made, high quality, thick, not flimsy, beautiful, rich color, metal clasp on closure adds a nice upscale look.Had a bear motion case for my note 2 for last 2 years, awesome, but wanted a wrist strap for easier carrying. This wrist strap is nice but since the phone is so large, it feels too long hanging off my wrist vertically. A better design would be to have strap connected at both top n bottom so it hangs horizontally, like the cute little "purse-like" wallet carriers (I have a leather punch, maybe I'll get creative). Almost bought one of those but didn't want to have to take my phone out to look at it, more carrying space for stuff tho.It is a little tight when closed so not a lot of room for cards n cash... only essentials... I'm sure it will stretch some after a little use. Also love the 2 pockets behind card holder... more organization options.Would have liked to have seen a little zippered compartment for change on back for more functionality, but would have added bulk to case. Case is not bulky as is. LOVE the button clasp... come on folks, if you're going to spend hundreds $ on a smart phone (mini computer) why on earth would you put ANY sort of magnet near it??? Not to mention it is a wallet designed to hold atm cards with magnetic strips, all of which can be damaged by magnetic interference, even the weakest of magnets can affect. Even though there are some great looking wallet cases with magnetic closures, I wasn't willing to risk it. There are only just a few cases with button closures...

This is a very good quality wallet case for my Samsung Note 4. It is my second izengate case, I had one exactly like it for my previous phone which was an LG G3 and liked it so much I got another when I switched phones. It fits my Galaxy Note 4 perfectly. The cutouts line up properly with all of the ports, camera, mic, s pen, volume and on/off button. The stitching is very straight and there are no loose threads. The closure uses a snap which is a definite plus as it will stay closed, especially when the wallet slots get filled up and the case gets a little "fatter". I have found that the cases that use a magnetic closure are just not strong enough to hold it together. The wristband is detachable. The color is vibrant with a slight leather texture. The case also works as a stand so you can watch videos without holding up your phone. So far there is no peeling or fraying anywhere. The phone fits snug in the plastic holder protector and is not loose but still not difficult to remove. The wallet(colored part) case extends very slightly over the edges of the phone which prevents it from getting hit in case you drop it, adding more protection. There are two improvements I'd make for this case ..make more colors and put a divider between the wallet side and the phone side to prevent your credit cards from making an oil/dirt mark on your phone screen. When closed if your screen has oil on it , it will transfer to the cards and then transfer back and leave a line across the screen of oil/dirt, especially if you use your cards a lot. It has not scratched the screen or anything, you just have to wipe your cards and screen more often. I'm very pleased with this case and will definitely purchase again if I change phones.

This is why it is a nice case:1. It seems to be holding up well with daily use.2. I haven't worked out the finer art of taking pictures with it. For me that is a bit awkward, but I'm not that big of a photo freak.3. It is comfortable to hold and I have small hands.4. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to an already large phone.5. I like to keep my driver's license, ATM card and a couple of bucks in it.6. The snap closure doesn't interfere with the usage of the phone.I will update in a few months - and let you know if it is still holding.

Ok
